Candi Caroline & the Celebrity Impressionists Arrive in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "A Tribute to the Legends of Song" is a self-contained, exciting show that takes ventriloquism "out of the suitcase" and raises the bar to a higher level of entertainment. Hailed as "a bold departure from other ventriloquist acts," Candi's unique production show concept has delivered, delighted and captured the hearts of audiences of all ages.

A cast of thirteen zany characters sings the musical hits from the 1960's to the present ... pop, rock, hip-hop, blues, disco, country & western to grand opera! The hilarious show is packed with surprises, audience participation and features large screen presentations: A Tribute to Michael Jackson, and an "Unforgettable" Salute to Nat & Natalie Cole. A loveable star-struck frog closes the show with Sarah Brightman's operatic aria, Nessun Dorma, and receives standing ovations.

In show biz since the age of five, Candi's career has taken her around the world and garnered awards from the television and motion picture industry. Her credits include the MGM Grand, Sahara, Hilton and Riviera Hotels in Las Vegas. Candi has shared the stage with many celebrities, including Regis Philbin, Red Buttons, Andy Williams, Bob Hope and many other celebrities.

At fifteen, Candi was singing with legendary jazz musicians Chuck Mangione, Oscar Peterson and George Shearing. She studied under former Metropolitan Opera star Josephine Antoine, who discovered that Candi had a rare gift (a 4 1/2 octave vocal range) and sent her to New York City to study with the Metropolitan Opera coach.

Candi has co-produced a television sitcom pilot and written two screenplays and a children's adventure-comedy novel. Her mission is: "Deliver clean comedy, wholesome family entertainment and a presentation unlike any other!"
